In the broad field of geographical studies, physical geography emerges as an integral discipline encompassing geomorphology, climatology, hydrology, and biogeography. This research explores how physical geography can contribute to a comprehensive understanding of karst systems in Argentina, aiming to develop geotourism proposals linked to speleotourism. To achieve this, a qualitative exploratory descriptive investigation was conducted through documentary analysis. Identified karst systems were georeferenced on a map of Argentina using geographic information systems, and subsequently, the information was organized into a synthesis matrix with one case selected for detailed analysis. A total of 11 karst systems were identified in Argentina, with 10 located in the Argentine Arid Diagonal, a region characterized by low precipitation levels and soils with poor water retention and high salinity. Only four of these systems have undergone comprehensive studies covering all four dimensions of physical geography. As a result of this study, it is concluded that the planning of geotourism and speleotourism should focus on sustainable conservation, environmental education, and proper management of tourist carrying capacity, presenting these ecosystems as fragile and complex systemic units for their better appreciation and preservation. Los sistemas kársticos son formaciones únicas producto de la disolución de rocas carbonatadas. En el amplio campo de los estudios geográficos, la geografía física se presenta como una disciplina integral que abarca la geomorfología, la climatología, hidrología y biogeografía. Esta investigación explora cómo la geografía física puede contribuir a la comprensión integral de los sistemas kársticos en Argentina, con el objetivo de desarrollar propuestas de geoturismo vinculadas al espeleoturismo. Para esto se realizó una investigación exploratoria descriptiva cualitativa mediante análisis documental. Los sistemas kársticos identificados se localizaron en un mapa de Argentina utilizando sistemas de información geográfica, posteriormente la información se organizó en una matriz de síntesis y se seleccionó un caso para un análisis detallado. Se identificaron un total de 11 sistemas kársticos en Argentina, de los cuales 10 se localizan en la Diagonal Árida Argentina, una región caracterizada por bajos índices de precipitación y suelos con escasa capacidad de retención de agua y alta salinidad. Solo cinco de estos sistemas han sido objeto de estudios integrales que abarcan las cuatro dimensiones de la geografía física. Como resultado de este estudio, se concluye que la planificación del geoturismo y espeleoturismo debe enfocarse en la conservación sustentable, la educación ambiental y la gestión adecuada de la capacidad de carga turística, presentando estos ecosistemas como unidades sistémicas frágiles y complejas para su mejor valoración y preservación.
